Deputy Commissioner of Kalaburagi Yeshwant Gurukar has said that strict action would be taken against those using social media for fanning violence by spreading fake news and creating disharmony.
Addressing presspersons in Kalaburagi along with Superintendent of Police Isha Pant, Mr. Gurukar said that some persons were circulating fake news and posts inciting communal disharmony by completely twisting facts related to the Aland incident on various social media platforms.
On March 1, violence flared up between two communities in Aland town when a mob-led by Union Minister Bhagwant Khuba , BJP legislatures and members of Sri Ram Sene marched to Hazrat Ladle Mashaikh Dargah premises to perform puja of Shivalinga on the Dargah premises.
